Basketball By the Numbers presents math standards in a cleverly disguised format. This book includes number-based facts and a brief introduction to the game of basketball. Full-page photos show the actions of both the offense and the defense. Brief story problems are matched with each photo to promote reading comprehension and math practice. The answers are shown as number problems in the back of the book. Kids will get an overview of the game and see firsthand how math and numbers are used every day in sports!
